I think that looks about right. I might be tempted to hang it just an itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy bit higher, but not much at all. I think you could also leave it exactly where you have it and hang something above it as well -- nothing with any kind of writing on it, but just some little something to kinda draw your eye on up the wall. (If you were so inclined, that is. ;-))

I think it looks great at that level. It's "eye level" from the chairs.

It's also about head level (you could still read the words over my head, just not see the drawing on the bottom. I'm usually the one stuck in the corner, so DS and DH could read it over my head!

I like seeing it while sitting in the FR and not have the light obscure some of the words. I might be able to find something to go above it, but would it have to have same colors? Be rustic as well? I might wait til the window trim is up, though - might even put scarf up on rod since I have 2 separate shades - but that's another post.

I'm also going to center it more on the wall - may not be able to get it exactly centered since the T-stat isn't, and the canvas is narrow, but close. I was just thinking this AM I should get something with a hollow back to cover the T-stat that we never use (should have had the builder put it on the kitchen side), I was in TJ MAxx getting another drawer organizer and saw this for $10!

Thanks!
